Tareeq, glad you liked it. Recently re-read HoL to confirm whether my enjoyment of the book was a "right time/right book" thing, or whether it was really something special, and I think I concluded the latter. I dug it maybe just as much the second time through.

As for unfinished forum biz...I can't think of anything. We've got a "music listening to now" thread, if we don't have a book thread, we'll get that soon...

...and I don't mind taking political discussion to "that other place", so it's Saul Good.

Hey, thanks, Warning... I just check into Raptorman and was saddened that it hasn't been updated in over a month. I then saw in his forum that he was in military school and just got out a few days ago... so updates will commence. JOY!

I meant to resurrect Triggercut's thread on the book House of Leaves to thank him for the recommendation. Great book, which is keeping me from finishing a couple of others.

Speaking of House of Leaves, I want to thank whoever recommended Nabokov's Pale Fire in that thread. Finished it today and enjoyed it. It didn't grab me as much as 'House' did, but I could see a lot of similarities in structure/theme and it was a very interesting and challenging read.

As far as other unfinished business, I went through the trouble of getting out my DVDs, taking the perfect screenshot and hosting it to post in the Lesbians thread- but never got the chance to see if anyone responded and found the picture as amusing as I did. Now just what are these two talking about here?

I was hoping Caligula would stalk me some more, continue posting dead cat pictures after my posts and eventually get banned. Oh well....

I wouldn't mind if he never finds his way over here.

If you don't already know, he's already been banned from here.

*sniff*

Brings a tear to the eye.

Two things.

1) warning was \/\/olverine?2) How did Caligula get banned? (Edit: I know now)

1) Nope I was not \/\/olverine. I started a thread before GG died about how I ran over my cat's tail accidentally and took her to the vet to get her fixed up. Caligula posted his typical trollish picture of dead cats and made a remark about \/\/olverine. I called him, as did others, on his crap. He then posted the picture again in my thread and later followed a post of mine in the Trading Place with the same picture. He was reported several times which, I suspect, led to...

2) His banning.

For one brief shining moment I had a certifiable internet stalker! My wife and kids were so proud of me!
